Turbo TaxTurbo tax was very easy to use and it help me a lot. Also, they help you identify what tax breaks you qualify for which is really helpful! I learned a lot just by doing my own taxes with Turbo Tax.

I placed my tax refund info on February 9th and I still have not received anything yet, but my friends have received their tax refunds and they did theirs a couple of days after mine. If someone could please get back to me that would be great

Great Experience!I used TurboTax for my first time filing, and it was a wonderful experience! It only took a few minutes. The instructions were clear, and their website provided more information if I had questions. I will use them again next year.

So EasyI thought I would need my parents help but I was able to do it all on my own even though this is the first year I have filed taxes. Turbo Tax made it so easy to follow.

Easy as 123Overall TurboTax is a great program. The only issue I had was it wasn't clear when to print the returns. It appears to instruct you to review taxes first and when give you the option to print after the review. However once review is submitted the option to print is not provided. You are required to go back into the form to select to print.
